Advance Praise
"I picked this up because of the cover and the blurb. The story had me hooked from the first page and I ended up finishing it in one sitting just desperate to know how it was all going to end and come together. Yusuf is an amazing storyteller, and even though the subject matter was dark, I couldn’t help but love Aaleyah, and her friends, going through the mystery with them and trying to work out all the twists and turns as they happened. I adored this book and it opened my eyes to things I’d not realised before. Very much recommended!"
